howmanylivesJamie Madrox had learned to cook.
It would take him longer to master the skill, of course, to apply it to something more extravagant than a single supper (even one with multiple courses), but the dinner laid out on the rarely used table in the Madrox-Miller household was, without question, one of quality. There were candles and a red tablecloth in a more elegant nod to the occasion than heart-shaped food, the whole scene looking like something out of a scene from a movie than from their lives, but given that this was their first holiday as a properly engaged couple, Jamie'd thought a little drama would serve them well, especially if it was just in the form of the decor.
(And the clothes. It'd taken him the better part of half an hour to get the matching bow tie on Richards, but the effect was so disgustingly twee that Jamie couldn't let the opportunity pass.)
With the finishing touches done and everything accounted for, it was just a matter of waiting for Layla to show, knowing he wouldn't have to wait for very long. If there was thing his fiancée was good for, it was her uncanny sense of timing.
